Earn Money from Twitter with Twittad

Isn't it cool that even Twitter can let you earn money by just setting up a Twitter user profile? The money will not come from Twitter but from advertisers who participate in Twittad.

The main objective of Twittad is that it's an ad social platform which enables Twitter users and advertisers to discuss about ads placement and website promotions on a Twitter user profile.

For publishers, to create a listing, first of all you'll have to include your ad duration and price and you would most probably be listed in the front page. When an advertiser feels that it's worth the price, he or she will purchase it. Of course, to attract advertisers, you must have a fair amount of followers, maybe around 1,000 is good enough. Next, upload your ad into the design section of your Twitter's profile and you can start

How to keep twitter accounts safe?

1) Add 100 friends with 30 seconds interval. This will take 50 minutes.
2) Remove all friends who are not following you, also with 30 seconds interval. This will take about another 50 minutes.
3) Repeat 1) and 2). One repeat takes 100 minutes to add and remove 100 friends, so for one day 24*60 = 1440 minutes, you can add and remove about 1440 friends, this number doen't out of the daily limitation and keeps your account's following number low.

One or more of these things may cause an account to be flagged for review:

1) a large number of people block the profile in question
2) a large number of people write in with spam complaints for a specific profile
3) a large number of people are followed in a short amount of time
4) the number of followers is small compared to number of people following
5) updates consist of duplicate links and/or text
6) updates consist mainly of links and not personal updates
7) updates consist solely of "re-tweets" (poaching other users' updates)
8) updates consist of links pointing to phishing sites, malware, or other harmful material
9) a large number of accounts is created in a short amount of time
10) an account is identified as belonging to a group of spam accounts

Twitter limitation

I found some limitation from twitter:
- Your twitter messages limits on 140 characters.
- You cannot follow more than 2000 users in a short time (I'm testing)
- 1,000 total updates per day, on any and all devices
- 250 total direct messages per day, on any and devices
- 70 API requests per hour
- Maximum number of follow attempts in a day

Using Twitter Windows Command Line Client

The Twitter CLI is a simple tool that lets you post updates to Twitter from the Windows command-line or ‘Run’ dialog.

Download: http://phalacee.com/index.php?page=development&section=app&development=19

Installation

1. Extract the contents of the Twitter CLI.zip file into your Windows folder, which is located at:
   C:\Windows
2. Open the Twitter.bat file in Notepad (right-click, then choose Edit) and enter your Twitter user name and password in the appropriate fields:
   set username=YourTwitterUserName
set password=YourTwitterPassword
3. Save the file and close Notepad.

Update Twitter Via Command Line

Now you are able to Tweet via your Windows Command Line:

1. Hit the Windows Key+R
2. Type in the following:
   twitter ""
   Enter your status between the quotes.
3. Hit OK or the Enter on your keyboard.

That’s all there is to it! If you want your update to read: I’m eating over my keyboard and making a mess! You would enter:
twitter "I'm eating over my keyboard and making a mess!"

Notes

• The message must be less than 140 characters, which is Twitter’s limit.
• It’s not necessary to use quotation marks in your update but will be needed if you’re inputting a URL in your message:
  twitter "I just added a great picture to Flickr http://tinyurl.com/6r95ur"

List of Twitter Commands

During the last months, Twitter became a fixed part of my online activities. It's a convenient way to stay in contact with people around the world.

There are multiple ways to twitter. You can use your mobile phone, a dedicated desktop client or a browser extension. The one that makes most sense to me is using their Jabber gateway1).

Whatever your favorite way of twittering is, there may be one feature you are not aware of yet: controlling Twitter through command tweets. That's right. Instead of visiting their website to follow someone or check a user's bio, you can just message Twitter.

Here is a list of commands I found so far - not all of them are documented at the official twitter lingo site.

follow user	Follow a user's tweets - you will receive all her updates.
leave user	Stop updates from the user (but leave her in your friend list).
delete user	Drop the user from your friend list.
invite email/number	Send a twitter invite to a friend's mail or phone.
whois user	Ask Twitter to return a quick info about the given user.
off	Turn off all messages to you. Sending it twice will even silence direct messages.
on	Will turn the messages on again.
d user message	Send the message as a private message to the given user. This message will not appear in any public time line and is usually delivered via email, too.
track term	Subscribe to tweets containing term regardless who posted it. You don't need to follow anyone to get those notices.
untrack term	Stop the tracking of a term and get no longer messages about it.
untrack all	Delete your whole list of tracked terms.
track	Ask twitter to return a list of all currently tracked terms.
stats	Ask for some basic statistics like number of followers and your track list.

Be sure to start the command at the very beginning of your tweet - a leading whitespace might cause it to end up on your time line.

I especially like the tracking feature. I track a few terms I'm currently interested in²⁾ to see what people around the world are talking about them. It's also a great way to discover new, interesting people to follow at Twitter.

Do you know of other useful commands I haven't listed? What's your favorite use of Twitter?
